The game gives you the freedom to be what you desire .Some guy just made a Chuck Norris look alike.




Unlike Oblivion broken aesthethic gameplay, i think Saints Row will deliver with solid,smooth gaming experience.

They were suggestions based on new releases.  Thanks for your opinion, and I\'d bet that you haven\'t played any of those titles.  However, if you want to make a case out of it...

Saints Row = 8.5
Dead Rising = 8.3
Enchanted Arms = 7.6
Test Drive Unlimited = 8
Madden 2007 = 8.5
Ninety Nine Nights = 5.6 (yeah, that\'s bad)
*from IGN

Since when were average and above average games considered not worth much?  I\'d say at least half of my collection of video games fall in the 8.x range, and there\'s even a few 7.x\'s as well.  I\'d be willing to bet there\'s quite a few of those in your collection as well.

Thanks for proving my point

personally, I think MGS4 is a little overrated...sure no doubt i think it will be a great game.  But I am kind of skeptical about the storyline.  In my opinion, HK kind of messed up the storyline of MGS2...not sure if he will be able to repairs it or makes it great for MGS4..


MGS3 was beautiful though storywise.  I think that proved he could and can bounce back from MGS2.  I don\'t see any reason for doubt.

oh cool that MGS3 have a great storyline.  I wouldn\'t have know since I never play MGS3 before.  If that is the case, it would be interesting to see how the storyline of MGS3 will do.

Probably since the majority of websites started giving out 8+ to any piece of shit.

And then when a website uses it\'s number rating system with pedantry, and gives a good game worth playing around about 7, they get bashed by hoardes of fanboys.

From what I\'ve read, both from online publications and individuals, those games listed that received 8.x\'s are solid and not just any piece of shit.  If memory serves, as I\'m too lazy to look it up, Shadow of the Colossus received 8.x\'s.  I suppose that\'s not worth much either?

If you\'re in the US and can\'t spend 50-60 bucks a game, this service is a God send.

I\'ll say that MGS3 is a much more difficult but more full and complete game than MGS2 ever was.  Go ahead and pick up Subsistance and enjoy it to its fullest.  The game starts off pretty difficult in my opinion but you eventually get the hang of it.  The story is far and away 1000 times better than anything in MGS2.  It rarely ever overplays its hand and becomes overbearing to the player.  The ending is just... phenomenal.

A)I said some
B)Arent worth much means they arent anything special. Not necessarilly bad.
Although NNN has been over praised but ended up mediocre. As for Madden and TD dont define 360\'s quality games neither are a real reason to get an 360.
Not to mention that recently the media got even worse at reviewing. Your example also proves this.

 Shadow of Colossus got an 8. So did Madden.  

I only agree with Saints Row and Dead Rising

Cool, maybe I should check it out sometimes in the future.

The only reason I mentioned those games were because he stated he hadn\'t touched his 360 since July.  Those were the games released since then, and with respect to personal opinion I simply told him of the games available to him that he hadn\'t tried out.  He already has a 360 so I\'m not sure why you brought up their system-selling quality?  Your second hand opinion was not needed and did nothing but derail the thread.

It looks to me like NNN got the score it deserved.

Your point?

So what, and I bet you haven\'t played either one.
